Chapter 2900 Did Yi Zhonghai kill the deaf old lady?
The workshop director hated him to death, but when he got the condition of transferring two level-seven workers, he immediately agreed to transfer Yi Zhonghai away.

Seeing his astonished expression, I felt a surge of secret satisfaction. Serves you right for not treating me, the workshop director, like a leader. Teaching an apprentice is more painful than killing you.

"Sizzle~" He took a sip of hot water from his teacup and spoke in a slow, official tone. "Master Yi, you're one of the factory's veterans!"

"There's a saying that goes, 'You and I are all bricks in our factory. We'll move wherever you need us.' Don't even mention the insignificant ones like us; even the production department and factory leaders would pack their bags immediately upon receiving a transfer order!"

"As a veteran comrade and the only level eight worker in our workshop, you should embody the spirit of being a cog in the machine and not show any resistance!"

"No, Director Chen, I've gotten used to working at the steel rolling mill all these years, and my home is nearby. What's going on with suddenly being transferred to Tongxian?"

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. After you go to the machinery factory under Tongxian County, your original benefits will not change, and you will be allocated a new house there!" Director Chen, wearing a cadre uniform with four pockets, put down his teacup and handed over the transfer order.

Yi Zhonghai didn't answer. Over the years, he considered himself to be quite shrewd and often enjoyed the feeling of having everything under control in the courtyard house. That feeling was truly addictive!
But the sudden news of his transfer caught him off guard. "Director Chen, what exactly happened? Can you tell me the truth?"

"I'm doing just fine in the factory, why do they insist on transferring me away?"

What else could it be?

You've offended someone!

They're trying to mess with you.
What an idiot! Going to the security department to report a deputy captain? Are you just asking for trouble?

The workshop director inwardly grumbled, but he had no intention of answering the questions. His face hardened and his tone became very displeased.

"Master Yi, what do you mean by that?"

"Does the steel rolling mill stop functioning without you?"

"Or rather, do you see yourself as an indispensable person?"

"I...I didn't mean that, Director Chen!" Yi Zhonghai tried to explain.

"Then what do you mean?" Director Chen clearly didn't give him a chance to continue speaking.

Yi Zhonghai didn't even know how he left the workshop director's office. After that, he didn't go to work and returned to the courtyard house in a daze.

"Old Yi, what's wrong?" An older woman who was sweeping the floor quickly asked with concern. "You look terrible, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'll go get it for you..."

"Shut up!" Yi Zhonghai roared, his face contorted with rage, his body leaning forward, his tone filled with anger and threat, as if he wanted to devour someone.

"It's all your fault, you barren hen!"

"You must give me a son or daughter..."

It was that familiar scolding again, but this time the icy tone sent chills down the middle-aged woman's spine. However, after so many years of submissiveness, she dared not resist and could only stand there silently enduring it.

Yi Zhonghai finally found an outlet for his anger. Upon learning that he was being transferred from the steel rolling mill to a machinery factory under Tongxian County and that he would have to move out of the No. 95 courtyard house, he felt an urge to destroy everything.

Moving out of the No. 95 courtyard house? How can he continue his retirement plans? He can't keep an eye on Sha Zhu all the time. With that silly personality, wouldn't he be completely controlled by Qin Huairu? Will he still be able to take care of him in the future?
The thought that his carefully planned retirement scheme had taken a major turn made Yi Zhonghai feel dizzy. His square face turned pale, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

Then I lost interest in continuing to curse!
"Pack your things, get ready to move!" After saying this dejectedly, Yi Zhonghai staggered back to his bedroom, his expression a mixture of frustration and resentment.

Because I just figured something out!
Why did such a big change suddenly happen?

It's all because Xu Damao became the deputy captain!

The little bastard is really ruthless! In this courtyard, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever. The fact that Yi Zhonghai was to be transferred to a machinery factory under Tongxian County was known to everyone almost before dinner.

"What's going on?!" The deaf old lady's eyes widened in surprise.

"Grandma, Xu Damao did it!" Yi Zhonghai had come to terms with it at this point. His level eight skill was worthless in the steel rolling mill, but it might be a treasure in the machinery factory below. In any case, he still had the skills. He could think of a way to transfer back later.

If you really can't get him back, then just move Sha Zhu over there.

"Oh dear, that little rascal!"

If we say that Sha Zhu was the caregiver chosen by Yi Zhonghai for his retirement...

So, Yi Zhonghai and his wife are the caregivers of the deaf old lady. They talk about their droopy grandson all the time, but the deaf old lady knows better than anyone that if she really relies on Sha Zhu to take care of her, she'll probably be taken away in less than two days.

Why are we living such a good life now?
It's because this old lady was like a maid, spinning around all day like a top, serving her husband and then serving Old Lady Long, doing all the washing and cleaning without complaint.

My mind was in turmoil. What would I do if this couple left?
So he tried asking, "Zhonghai, how about... I go to the machinery factory with you?"

Yi Zhonghai laughed when he heard this. He said that he usually treated you like an ancestor, just to stand on the moral high ground in the courtyard. Now that they are all being transferred, what does it matter to him whether you live or die?
"Madam, I'm so sorry, the housing near the machine factory isn't very good. I'm afraid you won't adapt to the conditions there."

Well, that was a clear rejection. The deaf old lady's face darkened even more. Feeling uncomfortable, she wanted to eat something.

He casually picked up a jujube that Lou Xiao'e had given him as a gift.

As luck would have it, perhaps because I was so confused, the date pit suddenly got stuck in my throat while I was chewing it.

"Cough..." The date pit stuck in her throat made the deaf old lady feel suffocated and panicked, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her throat and she couldn't breathe. Her whole face turned red instantly.

His eyes were wide open and his hands were reaching forward, his will to survive was incredibly strong!
"Old lady!" Yi Zhonghai was startled. He didn't want to get involved, but it was a different story if someone died right in front of him.

They frantically tried to save him.

The result was quite the opposite. After a flurry of frantic tapping and patting, the date pit didn't come out; instead, it went in even further.

The deaf old woman kicked her legs in less than two minutes; she died without even closing her eyes.

Moreover, even someone as experienced as Yi Zhonghai was so frightened by that expression that he almost wet himself.

"Help! Help!" He panicked and ran out in a panic, practically wetting himself...

When Xu Damao and his colleagues from the production department returned to the compound after drinking, they were startled by the crying sound coming from inside. They went in and learned that the deaf old lady had died that afternoon.

"Old Zhao, what are you doing here?" The person looked at the police station with curiosity. What were the police station people doing here when a normal deaf old lady passed away peacefully?

"Captain Xu, let's talk later. I'll take the person to the station first!"

"This whole thing is such a mess!"

"Don't just stand there, Master Yi. Do you expect me to invite you in a sedan chair carried by eight men?"

Hearing Gong An say that, Xu Damao finally noticed Yi Zhonghai, who looked completely lost.

What's going on?

Did he kill the deaf old lady?
